Pair of Dimes - Paradigm
Paradigm – Frame of Reference
Frame of Reference – Self-Imposed Limits
Open Mind
The Mind is like a parachute…it only works when it is open!
Presentation Take-Aways• Sustainability• Reliability• Best Interest of the End User
Entropy
The tendency of a system to move from order to disorder….
Entropy in Action
The tendency of a system to move from order to disorder….
Barrier FiltrationBarrier Filtration - Screens
Issues with Barrier Filters – Bags & Screens
• Bag/Screen Failures Misleading• Flow Rate Variation• Change Frequently• Filtration not available during change
out
Issues with Sand Media – Cooling Water Applications
Significant Water LossLoss of Filtration During Back FlushInfiltration of MediaSurface SealingMaintenance Space in large applications
LAKOS Separator
No moving parts to wear out
No screen or filter element to plug/fill
No maintenance required (backwashing+)
No water loss
Low / steady pressure loss
Continuous / uninterrupted operation
LAKOS Separator BenefitsCentrifugal Filtration – Separators

Typical Applications
• Full Stream or Inline of Full Flow• Side Stream or % of Full Flow• Basin or Sump Sweeping• Inlet Water• Pre-Filtration
Technique: Full Stream
Typical Applications – Full Stream
Typical Applications – Pre-Filtration
Typical Applications – Heat Exchanger
Inlet Water Filtration - Seawater

ROI and Rule of 72
• Saved: $46,481• LAKOS Cost: $75,000• Payback: ($75,000/$46,481) X 12 Months
equals 19.36 months.• 19.36 months/(12 months/year) = 1.61
years• (72/1.61) * 100 = 44.72 % ROI
Value of Filtration
• Energy savings: 8-10%• Maintenance savings: 60-90%• Water savings: 5-10%• Chemical savings: 5-15%• Maintain Efficiency • Extend Component Life• Improve Productivity
